Forthcoming marriage Jim and Louise Harvey, of R.R. 2, Orono, Ontario, would like to annouce the coming marriage of their eldest daughter, Brenda Lee Harvey to Keith Leonard Guy, eldest son of Leonard ITS FOR THE BIRDS Saturday evening turned into an enjoyable evening with Donna and I attending the Oshawa Festival Singers' Cabaret in the Newcastle Community Hall. The evening was promoted by Charles Gray, his wife and two children in aid of the Festival Singers. The pro- gram of singing was tops be- ing provided by the Festival Singers and a feature by Ross Metcalf who always astounds us with such a big robust voice coming from such a slight frame. The group from Oshawa are preparing funding for a trip to England, Wales and Scotland in 1983 and as a result is does give us an op- portunity to hear some ex- cellent, professional, singing. The program by the singers was followed by dancing with music being provided by a most co-operative Disc Jockey who on a moments notice was able to provide any request from the dancers. You name it and he was sure to have it. This certainly met with the approval of our table parties including Ray and Marjory Dickson of Orono who cer- tainly enjoy dancing and have a sizeable repertoire of dance numbers and steps. With the Dickson's en- thusiasm for a good mix of dance the "Slosh", "Bus Stop", "Alley Cat" and "Gay Gordon", a real oldie, were inspired with tunes from the '40 and on up in- cluding Rock and Roll, Disco and the new waltz numbers.

The wedding will be held on June 12, 1982, at 3:00 p.. at Trinity United Church, 116 Church Street, Bowmanville, Ontario. we were informed there was a new dance out called the "Birdie Dance". This dance, originating in Spain, sold some 4 million records in but a few months in Europe and the dance has taken storm in Europe and England• and now making its presence felt in North America. Dickson introduced it to the Town of Newcastle Satur- day night when his request for the proper music was met by the Disc Jockey. Itwas a new one for Donna and I and we almost made it to the floor for a try. THE BIRDIE DANCE You"Tweet, Tweet" by wriggling your fingers, palm out at face level; "Flutter your wings" by jamming your fists in your arm pits and flapping your elbows four times; "Twich your tail" by gyrating your but- tocks four complete circles followed by four resounding claps of the hands and a nine- ty degree hop to the right to start all over again. To say the least the dance took the dancers somewhat by surprise and with the ex- ception of three couples, in- cluding the Dicksons, they re- mained at their roost. This, however, was not the case for the second time around when many more joined in or were captivated by the antics on the floor. Donna and I are generally ready to try anything new on the dance floor but for this one we were just too "chicken." Really the "Birdie Dance" is strictly 'for the birds.' Counc. Woodyard com- ments that the Town of Newcastle has not lived up to its obligation undertaken under the Region of Durham act in the matter of certain works in the Village of Orono that were planned by the former Police Trustees of the Village of Orono. As a result of this claim council has passed a resolu- tion ý calling for the CAO, Don Smith to liaise with the Director of Public Works, Ron Dupuis and arrange a meeting with officials of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. The meeting is to have regard to former plans for Division Street in the Village of Orono. Woodyard points out that the former Police Trustees had undertaken a five-year plan, with approval from the Ontario Municipal Board, to provide proper curbing, drainage and road surfaces to a majority of the streets in Orono. The Police Trustees had completed work in the centre of the Village including Park Street, Centre Street and a the northern section of Church Street. It was the in- tention, and approval was granted, to proceed to com- plete similar work on Divi- sion Street and other streets in the south of the Village. Woodyard points out that under the Region of Durham Act the Town was to accept all assests and liabilities and honour projects underway within the boundaries of the Town of Newcastle. He said the Town of Newcastle has not lived up to its obligations and that works proposed for Division Street have only par- tially been completed. Woodyard also points out that due to present Ministry of Transportation criteria the Town is not eligible for grant for storm sewering and major Town allowed $90,850 for additional employment The Province of Ontario has allotted the Town of Newcastle a sum of $90,850.00 which could be used through a provincial program, Ontario employ- ment Incentive Program, for works to be undertaken within the Town. The provincial program is designed to stimulate employ- ment in the Province and runs until December 31st, 1982. The municipality will have to operate within the guideline of the program and have their application into the province by the end of June, 1982. Employment must be other than that which would have been an- ticipated. Council on Monday turned the matter over to staff to have staff review and report to the General Purpose com- mittee for discussion this coming Monday. improvements to the roads in the south of the Village. He does say there are still some improvements that should be made and he urges the meeting with the Ministry to address these needs. Woodyard points out that the catch basins need to be raised on the south end of Division street and certain road con- struction to see that the catch basins work properly. He states he wants the Ministry to recognize the former plan of the Police Village and that some assistance should be forthcoming from the pro- vince to assist with at least some further improvements if not that as undertaken in the centre of the Village. The five-year road im- provement plan in the Village of Orono was an ambitious one but as seen in the centre of the Village is an outstan- ding achievement. The plan also included vast im- provements to the street system in the south of the Village. * Northumber- land-Durham If a federal election were held tomorrow the Liberals would run third in Durham Northumberland, says Wilf Day, a member of the Federal Riding Executive of the New Democrats.
